Coco Caprylate/Caprate

This is an automatic translation

Coco Caprylate/Caprate is a transparent colored emollient widely used in oily cosmetic preparations or emulsions.

This ingredient is of vegetable origin, obtained from coconut.

From a chemical point of view it is an ester between alcohols deriving from coconut and a mixture of fatty acids of 8-10 carbon atoms.

It is highly appreciated for the ease with which it spreads on the skin and the characteristic dry touch. This is why it is sometimes called coco-silicone. It can be safely considered a substitute of natural origin for emollients of synthetic origin.
